Less than three days after Saturday evening’s 1-1 draw away to Leicester City, Pompey are back in action tonight.
The Blues return to Fratton Park looking to extend their three-game unbeaten run but face an almighty challenge in Coventry City.
John Mousinho’s men, of course, came out on top in this fixture last season, with Callum Lang netting all four goals in a 4-1 triumph.
But with the Blues facing three games in eight days, the head coach faces big calls whether he opts to freshen up his side this evening.
Here’s how he predict Pompey could line-up against Coventry tonight at Fratton.
9. RM: Conor Chaplin
Mousinho faces a really big call over the Ipswich loanee, who has struggled following his return to PO4. Chaplin was disappointing at the King Power and is out of form in front of goal, but it’s hard to see him dropped for the visit of the league leaders. The Blues will need all the attacking threat they have, with the Sky Blues keeping clean sheets in their last five matches. The 28-year-old certainly brings that and a goal this evening will no doubt be a boost to his confidence. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
10. CAM: John Swift
What a game Swift had on Saturday. The midfielder was very emotional after match having netted the first goal for his boyhood club. Will need to have his shooting boots on tonight as the league leaders come to town. | John Mallett/ProSportsImages
11. LM: Minhyeok Yang
The Spurs loanee is emerging as a real fan favourite after yet another outstanding performance. Two goals and one assist in his previous three games for Pompey, and is causing Championship defences all kinds of problems. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
12. ST: Colby Bishop
Although it was an evening with few chances for the Magic Man against Leicester, Mousinho was hugely impressed with the striker’s hold-up play and work both on and off the ball. He could really do with a goal to really kick start his season and a strike this evening will be a huge boost of confidence. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
